Michael Carrick hailed Manchester United's two-goal ace Juan Mata after victory at Liverpool.

Mata struck both goals in the 2-1 win.

"I thought the second goal was a sensational finish," midfielder Carrick declared.

"The first one was also good, mind you, a good touch and finish on his right foot, but the second was pretty special. I'm sure he'll remember that and it'll get played a few times."
